NEVER trust a Zip drive with important info, I hope you've got a backup of
the data on other media. Yes, this is the voice of experience speaking.
Thankfully it wasn't that important of data in my case.

If anyone wants to know what I'm talking about research the 'Click of Death'.

My PowerMac G4/450 came with a Zip Drive, I've never bothered sticking any
of the many disks I've got in it.
